Title: I think my body is crapping out on me!!!
Post by: Annig83 on May 15, 2012, 08:06:38 PM

Spent 4 1/2 hours today in the ER because I got Vertigo... AGAIN! I couldn't stand up, or see straight, even after taking my pills for it. This is the 7th time in about 2 months... I'm getting really worried.  I keep getting fluid in my ears... now I may have Lupus (as I have said in my other post), and of course PD and ESRD.  I'm about ready to ask my boyfriend for a new body for Christmas!
Are any of these issues inter-related??  Anyone else had any of these issues at the same time?  I'm at a loss, I'm so bummed.  :stressed;

Boy oh boy do I ever know how you feel. Mine decided to just slow down to a crawl all at once. I dont think you problems are related and dont think mine are either, except I really think my body is mad at me. Diagnosed Stage 4 in 2008, Congestive heart failure in 2007, Advanced degenerative disk disease in 2008 and scoliosis in 2011. Now, to make life complete, athletes foot!!! COME ON!!!

Has anyone thought to check you for menieree's disease which can cause these symptoms?

It must be the power of suggestion because today I lost my balance a couple of times.

My regular GP put me on Flonase (Fluticasone Propionate) and I spray it up my nose and it seems to let the fluid out from behind my ears.  I only have a few days left on it so we will see if that works.

@ Amanda- I'm going for tests this week, but I see my neph tomorrow, and I think I will be asking him as well.  I hope it's not Meinere's... I hope this isn't going to be a permanent thing where it keeps getting worse.

Rerun- I use Nasonex, Claritin, and Meclizine, but nothing has been helping me :(  Maybe I will suggest Flonase.. I was on that a LONG time ago, but it seemed to help a lot.

Whamo-  :rofl; Don't you hate power of suggestion?  I had perfect balance today... maybe you will tomorrow as well? ;)

Jean- It seems like it's a domino affect doesn't it?  Sigh... I'd love to trade in parts that are malfunctioning!!!
